A member asked:
Should a kidney cancer survivor have routine yearly tests that include ct scans of the lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Depending on the stage and grade of kidney cancer, some patients may require ct scan of lungs. For many patients, yearly chest x-ray for the first 5 years may be sufficient.
